review 1: I'm going to be honest here. I didn't really enjoy this book at all. I just wish there would've been some sort of romance, maybe a little more dialogue and I could've done without Mr. Gray. Ronan was the only interesting character, which disappointed me because I think all of the...

review 1: An extremely well written story that was nearly impossible to put down. But it left me a little cold. The characters were amazing and I loved and empathized with them so much, I just didn't love the story as much as I loved them. So I probably won't continue the journey with them...

review 1: Really loved this one! We really get to see Maggie Stiefvater's personality in this leg of the Raven Boys series. Quite a bit of humor, and certainly felt sophisticated enough to not be YA at times. With one additional part of the story to tell, I am confident that Stiefvater wil...

review 1: The premise and promise of the book drew me in, a collection of short stories, some crafted from a common prompt, featuring comments made by the authors to delight readers and show some of the background behind the writing. The stories were great, and the remarks were funny and ...

review 1: 'Linger' is the sequel to 'Shiver'. I honestly have no idea what to say except I HAD SO MANY MIXED FEELINGS ABOUT THIS BOOK WHEN I FINISHED READING IT. There were times when I laughed so hard I couldn't breathe, and times when I wanted to chuck the book at the wall, but most of t...

review 1: I loved this one too! I wasn't so sure at first about it, especially since Ronan wasn't one of my favorite characters but it's fantastic to see more of his little moments of humanity. In fact, the characters are really my favorite part about this series- they are fantastically he...

review 1: I always feel a bit weird reading sequels just in case they aren't as good as the first book. But I genuinely thought this was equally as good as Shiver!! I love this whole world, Sam and Grace and Cole and Isabel ... They're amazing. I can't express how much I enjoyed this book,...

review 1: A great book that develops all the characters so well--which is hard to find in stories sometimes--and so, by the end, you feel like these are real people who've lived expressive lives.The supernatural aspects of this book are TO DIE FOR. Super interesting! I don't know much abou...

review 1: This novel of teen psychics and their trials and tribulations is actually pretty interesting. The foreshadowing is done with a heavy hand but it does lead nicely into the next book in the series. Usually when the foreshadowing is done so heavily it makes me shy away from the ne...

review 1: The Raven Boys was one of the better reads I cam across this year and I'm happy I didn't bypass it just because I've read the same ' Quiet loner girl meets attractive rich boys and shit happens' and the same 'Whiny girl YA paranormal'complete with instant-love and ineptitude. The...

review 1: The writing is beautiful and I absolutely loved the concept.I felt like this book had so much potential and I wanted to love it so much, but the first 300 pages were too slow, characters weren't developed enough for how much time we spent in their heads, and some characters did t...

review 1: I enjoyed this trilogy. I know what you’re thinking. It sounds “Twilight-ish,” but in my opinion, it has a lot more depth to it. Don’t get me wrong. I enjoyed the Twilight series. The books were a nice mindless read. The characters in the Mercy Falls books though have much ...

review 1: What made this different from so many other girl-power, fantasy YA books is that the heroine has a brain and uses it. She doesn't just magically find the solution or happen upon the answer, she puzzles it out. She also uses her skills but those too, she has to work at, like play...

review 1: I read the book Forever, third book FYI. This is the best book I have ever read in my entire life. So, if you are like me who loves romantic adventures then this is the book for you. It is about a boy named Sam who is a werewolf, in love with a human girl, Grace. If you have read...

review 1: I read this series for myself ... it's not one my boys would be interested in (much more aimed at a female audience). But IF I had a daughter, I'd be in a bit of a quandary as to whether or not to recommend it, as I wouldn't want MY daughter to romanticize falling in love (and sl...

review 1: Maybe it's the fact that a lot of people told me that this series is amazing which probably made my expectations really high and which then made it look sort of like.. crap.Or maybe... it didn't ring the bell for me.Sam was just full on awkward which turned me off. He's the book'...

review 1: It was a different way to look at werewolfism, and the main love story was sweet (very twilightesq). However, there was another love match that was building and IMO was much more interesting and in depth than the main couple, but it was never finished. Plus, the writing didn't ...

review 1: The first time I heard about Maggie Stiefvater was a few years ago, and since then I have read some really good books by here. Shiver, the first in her Wolves Of Mercy Falls series was fresh and new, the first two book in the Raven Cycle were very unique blend of paranormal and m...
